Fort Siloso – The Surrender Chamber

The Japanese occupation in Singapore started in year 1942 and ended at 1945 with the Japanese surrendering to the British after atomic bombs were dropped at Hiroshima . You could also read about our coverage of the area where the Hiroshima Atomic Dome exists and stands after the bomb was dropped within the area .

The surrender chamber was indeed one of the saddest moments to end off the sorrows & hungers of the civilians , yet the joyful moments to end off the World War II . No doubt , memories still linger in the hearts and minds of those who did experience the World War II from 1942 to 1945 .
